When Portuguese sailor Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain in 1519, he believed he could get to the Spice Islands by sailing west through or around the New World. He was right, but what he didn't know was that the treacherous voyage would take him three years and cost him his life. Black-and-white line drawings illustrate Magellan's life and voyage, with sidebars and a time line that enhance readers' understanding of the period.

      A lively biography of the explorer who was the first to sail around the globe, this book not only tells Magellans life story but details his accomplishments and his failure. Historical notes are interspersed with the accessible narrative, which is illustrated with black-and-white line drawings. Reading list, timelines.
